  2. Myotome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myotome

    A myotome is the group of muscles that a single spinal nerve innervates. [1] Similarly a dermatome is an area of skin that a single nerve innervates with sensory fibers. Myotomes are separated by myosepta (singular: myoseptum). [2] In vertebrate embryonic development, a myotome is the part of a somite that develops into muscle.

  3. Somite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somite

    The myotome is that part of a somite that forms the muscles of the animal. [2] Each myotome divides into an epaxial part (epimere), at the back, and a hypaxial part (hypomere) at the front. [2] The myoblasts from the hypaxial division form the muscles of the thoracic and anterior abdominal walls.

  4. Myotome (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myotome_(disambiguation)

    Myotome is the group of muscles that a single spinal nerve root innervates. Myotome may also refer to: Myotome (embryology), part of a somite that forms the muscles of the animal; My-Otome, an anime series created by Sunrise My-Otome, originally published from 2005 to 2006

  5. Somitogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somitogenesis

    In somitogenesis, somites form from the paraxial mesoderm, a particular region of mesoderm in the neurulating embryo.This tissue undergoes convergent extension as the primitive streak regresses, or as the embryo gastrulates.

  6. Motor unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_unit

    In biology, a motor unit is made up of a motor neuron and all of the skeletal muscle fibers innervated by the neuron's axon terminals, including the neuromuscular junctions between the neuron and the fibres. [1] Groups of motor units often work together as a motor pool to coordinate the contractions of a single muscle.

  7. Axillary nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axillary_nerve

    The nerve lies at first behind the axillary artery, [4] and in front of the subscapularis, [1] and passes downward to the lower border of that muscle.. It then winds from anterior to posterior around the neck of the humerus, in company with the posterior humeral circumflex artery, [2] through the quadrangular space (bounded above by the teres minor, below by the teres major, medially by the ...

  8. Myogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myogenesis

    Myogenesis is the formation of skeletal muscular tissue, particularly during embryonic development.. Myoblasts (cells with a single nucleus, represented in violet) fusing together to form muscle fibers (multinucleated muscle cells) during myogenesis

  9. Myomere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myomere

    Myomeres are made up of myoglobin-rich dark muscle as well as white muscle. Dark muscle, generally, functions as slow-twitch muscle fibers while white muscle is composed of fast-twitch fibers. Function
